Abstract (en)
The present invention is directed to a hypo/hyperthermia system. The system has a temperature altering unit (10), a first conduit (16) and an open-cell dispersing unit (12). The temperature altering unit receives a medium at ambient, heated, or cooled temperatures, and converts the medium into a second medium at a desired temperature. The first conduit transfers the second medium to the open-cell dispersing unit. And the open-cell dispersing unit has a receiving aperture (14), a central chamber and an open-cell instrument. The receiving aperture receives the first conduit. The central chamber receives the second medium. While the open-cell instrument surrounds the central chamber, except where the receiving aperture is located, so the second medium is distributed throughout the open-cell instrument to direct the second medium in all directions in a predetermined area. <IMAGE>
